Final comments
- get an appartment long before you come to Amsterdam. The living situation there is as hopeless as the one in Stockholm. Almost impossible to get an appartment.
- Be prepared that the quality as far away from good and that you will pay a lot for housing and food
-What compensate it all is good communication net for students, excellent nightlife with lot to offer, close to other european countries; I recommend a sailing trip up in north part of Holland which usually is organized by university student board
